yup, that 130 is crawling along.

130's themselves are a pain to refuel because they're so slow. a-10's too, they're slow as hell. often times a toboggan maneuver has to be done so they can keep up with the tanker. a toboggan maneuver is basically just a slow descent so they can pick up enough speed to keep up so they can complete the refueling.
